Baker, Anita - Sometimes Lyrics






Everybody wants to be a winner and take their place at the top
Everyone wants their name up in lights, for the good times never stop
Sometimes the bad luck will creep up and catch you by surprise
Your mind's confused, you feel misused
You've got to leave those troubles behind

[Chorus:]
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes you wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool

[Tag:]
Hold on a little longer
Try to be a little stronger
And you can win
And everything is gonna be yours

When you cry the whole world laughs at you
They don't seem to understand
But the time will come when the tables turn
And you're gonna have the winning hand

[Chorus:]
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes you wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool

[Tag:]
Hold on a little longer
Try to be a little stronger
And you can win
And everything is gonna be yours

When you cry the whole world laughs at you
They don't seem to understand
But the time will come when the tables turn
And you're gonna have the winning hand

Sometimes the bad luck will creep up and catch you by surprise
Your mind's confused, you feel misused
You've got to leave those troubles behind

[Chorus x2]

    For those who can't here a word she sings

    Everybody wants to be a winner
    And take their place at the top
    Everyone wants their name up in lights,
    For the good times never stop

    Sometimes the bad luck will creep up and catch you by surprise
    Your mind's confused,
    You feel misused
    You've got to leave those troubles behind

    Sometimes you win,
    Sometimes you lose
    Sometimes you want to cry,
    Sometimes you play the fool

    Hold on a little longer
    Try to be a little stronger
    And you can win
    You can win
    And everything is gonna be yours

    When you cry the whole world laughs at you
    They don't seem to understand
    But the time will come when the tables turn
    And you're gonna have the winning hand

    Sometimes you win,
    Sometimes you lose
    Sometimes you want to cry,
    Sometimes you play the fool

    Sometimes…

    I still come here and listen to this entire album when my heart aches. I just listen and cry and cleanse because there's more room out than in. I find myself here tonight because it feels like I can't get "IT" right. I have prioritized my life, my plans. Wednesday my life will change, ain't gonna front, I'm scared. But I'll put on my brave face and never allow fear to show...got my babies and they know that no matter what, we roll this way......
    H*O*L*L*A*N*D
    FOREVER & A DAY
    I put on a brave face
    My babies look at me as a tower of strength
    Truth is, I'm not as strong as they think.
    I jump at things that go bump in the night
    I shed my tears in the dark
    While listening to old school
    There's something about cleansing tears
    Tears that release the pain and the fears
    So tomorrow
    A new day begins
    And this
    The mess of today
    Has come to its end
    Life is hard
    Life is heavy
    I don't know what I don't know
    So, with every passing minute
    I listen more than I speak
    It's how I grow
    I'm just a girl
    Trying to make it through the day
    I wasn't given a rule book
    Just going play by play
    Can you hear me
    Do you care
    You said you'd always be there
    Here I am feeling so alone
    But tomorrow's a new day
    New blessings
    New lessons
    Living life as it should be done
    I am U
    U are me
    And
    We are ONE..........

    K.... E....

    I hope everything went well for you and your babies that Wednesday sis. I wish I could message you my number. Your message stopped me in my tracks. Hold on lovebug. Good got you and your babies.

    I went through a divorce after 15 years of marriage. Was the toughest time in my life girl. That's when I found tjis sing again 3 years ago....but God. In 5 months I'll be taking the walk down the aisle again. It gets greater, later.
